Full Diagnosis

Normal operation (standby, no heat demand).

All Recorded Causes

No action needed. Ensure the thermostat is in Heat mode and set above room temperature if heating is desired.

Verify Before Replacing Parts

  1. Confirm the exact American Standard model family and furnaces context before acting on a generic code description.
  2. Start with the exact model documentation and verify the full operating sequence before replacing parts, particularly around no action needed.
  3. Use the listed causes as branches to confirm or eliminate with measurements, not assumptions — ensure the thermostat is in Heat mode and set above room temperature if heating is desired is a reasonable second branch.
  4. After the correction, run the system long enough to confirm the furnaces fault does not return under normal load.
